F1: Series CEO happy with performance of Pirelli tires

Formula One Chief Executive Officer Stefano Domenicali said that the tires Pirelli brought to the Dutch Grand Prix were perfect.

Tire strategy added another layer of complexity and unpredictability to Sunday’s race.

“Today once more the tires showed themselves to be perfect, by allowing for different strategies, increasing the number of on-track battles as well as overtaking moves, and helping us to deliver a successful and spectacular product that people love, while still guaranteeing the safety that is essential for a sport such as F1.

“This is a global success that we’d like to celebrate at Monza in style, hoping also that there’s space for a bit of red there too after all this orange!”

“With the energy and the passion of the fans at Zandvoort still ringing in our ears, we head to Monza: an incredibly important venue for Formula 1, where we celebrate 100 years of the circuit and 150 years of Pirelli: an Italian institution that is synonymous with motorsport.”
